Elrian, do you have any quotes about how Barrow Wights are mannish souls who don't wish to leave ME. I have my own theories about what the wights are, but I won't put them here to send the thread possibly off on at tangent.
Relating to the doom of men, I would rather call it the gift to men. The elves are inherintly sadder than men, just because their immortality shows them the destruction of all that was fair and good. Also, the men go before Ilu earlier, which is a great gift.
